2005 G35 Coupe Sound Quality Install -- Lots of pics :)
#16
The climate control/OEM HU you took out of the dash had a dual zone button on the PCB.
As is documented here (where I learned it), if you desolder the PCB switch and solder in onto the supplied climate controls PCB, you get dual zone operation on the new unit. The JDM unit is simply missing the switch and corresponding button. Switch looks a lot like an alarm transmitter switch, but lower profile. Cool thing to do...
Yeah, I know Stephen and Dwayne a bit. Talked to Dwayne about OEM integration in an Acura about a year ago. The UR6s sounds really dry in a door, and is really optimized for enclosure operation. I'm always a little hesitant to try the old "watch me pull an aperiodic variovent out of my butt" trick when I don't know the resultant enclosure tuning, but with those speaks it's a pretty low-risk approach.
I take it you're referring to the 150 Hz control on the AVIC EQ?

I am ify only because I am not sure if i want to rip apart my coupe. I have (2) 12" kove audio armageddon subs, 400x2 / 50x4 orion xtr amps, (2) avi 6.5", (2) avi 10" (who remembers avi? I always loved their sound so I kept them) If i do the carputer I may just go for it all and get it over with in 1 shot.
did someone say AVI?

i LOVE LOVE LOVE AVI, my next car i am going to go all top shelf avi for sure.
well, as for cost...onthing i wnat to say is that i am somewhat different in terms of shop goes. i ran a shop for 5 years beofre, and got tired of the rat race, overheads, rushing on cars...so now, i do everything out of my own garage at my house, that way i know everyhting is done correctly, and the way i want, plus i can be a whole lot cheaper than a normal shop hehe
and unlike most shops that pushes brands, through my connections i can get my hands on pretty much any brand, so basically, when a customer comes in, i dont put much of a list otgehter, i say, what kind of sound are you looking for, what kind of install look wise are you looking for, and whats your budget...then i go ahead and do the best possible install usin the best possible components within those constraints, and often, i end up doing extra touches, cuase again, i do this becuase i love doin it, not just for cash hehe
anyway, for this car, here is whats included:
avic-d1
DLS ultimate UR6s (700 dollar or so set of psekars)
ifninity kappa 6.5"
two alpine amps, the big 4 channel., and the small mono block
two idq10s
all the wiring, dist blocks, and the insatll...
the end all price on all equipment, material and labor was 4k

neat, my contact at DLS is pinny
as for tuning, there arent too many speakres that i have seen didnt sound lack luster int he midbass compartmebt in a unsealed door, and most can benefit from some type of enclosure...i cant remember a rep in recent years that told me NOT to do kicks, maybe morel a while back
true AP is too much pain to do, i did it twice and dont really want to go through hacking the floor again to port to the outside...
yup, 150 down on the d1, on my car, i use my 31 band, but its not in this guys budget hehe, but -2db down with a narrow Q at 150db really cures it with the DLS

16psibrick whats your opinion in kove audio? I already have a set of 12's but havent thrown them in yet, i was pretty impressed with thier sound. I was thinking of going ID but went kove on the subs. I am happy to see another AVI fan not easy to find them around anymore. do they still make AVI? My sets are from about 8 years ago I wont let them go, i simply love them.

the grilles are from partsexpress.com, but they wuill not work on your sub, they only work on a limited number of subs where the surround does not stick out of the top of the sub.
